He motioned over his shoulder to the woman he’d been dancing with. She was already standing with her purse in her hand. “Carly suggested we go in the other room, so we don’t have to talk over the music. I suggested we go to my apartment instead. She’s in, so I’m out.”
“What about your date?”
“What date?”
“You came with Evie, didn’t you?”
Will smiled. “Bros before hoes for life, man. Do you really think I would date the woman you’re hot for?”
“What the hell are you talking about? She just told me you picked her up, and I saw you walk in together.”
“I told Evie you invited her.” He shrugged. “That all the executives attended, and you asked me to share a car and introduce her around since you had to come early.”
“Why would you do that?”
“Because you’re a damn idiot and weren’t going to ask her yourself.”
“Did you ever think that’s because I didn’t want to ask her?”
“Not for a second. You like her, and we both know it. You just think it’s a bad idea because she works for your company.”
“Maybe that’s because it is a bad idea.”
“Some of the best times in life start off as bad ideas, my friend.”
Will slapped his knee before standing. “Speak of the devil.” He held out a hand to Evie, whom I hadn’t seen coming. “I’m going to ditch this place. Merrick will give you a ride home.”
“Oh, okay. Though it’s fine. I can call an Uber later.”
Will smirked in my direction. “I’m sure the boss will insist. You two have fun.”
Evie looked confused by the sudden turn of events, yet not bothered by Will’s departure in the least. She laughed. “You, too, Will. And thanks for breaking my dress.”
He winked at her before taking off. “Anytime, gorgeous.”
